    The bark may be used to treat tooth aches.

    Borage Leaves
    Small plant with pink or blue flowers and hairy leaves. Chewed and eaten by nursing queens for producing better milk. Also treats fevers. Can be easily identified by its star shaped flowers.

    Broom
    Helps treat broken bones and wounds when mixed in a poultice.

    Burdock Root
    Tall stemmed thistle with a sharp smell and dark leaves. When dug up and washed off, it is chewed into a pulp, and put on wounds inflicted by rats to keep them from becoming infected. Can also be used on infected rat bites to lessen and heal the pain.

    Catmint/Catnip
    A leafy and delicious-smelling plant which is rarely found in the wild. Mostly found in Twoleg gardens. Best remedy for the deadly greencough.

    This herb can be used to soothe the eyes.

    Chamomile
    This herb strengthens the heart and calms the mind.

    Chervil
    Sweet smelling plant, which has large leaves, which are almost fern-like. When the leaves are chewed, the juice can be placed on wounds to prevent or heal infection. The roots can be chewed up and eaten to cure bellyache.

    Chickweed
    Like catmint/catnip it can be used to treat greencough.

    Cobwebs
    Put on a wound to soak up and stop (or slow) the bleeding. It may also be used to bind broken bones.

    Coltsfoot
    A flowering, dandelion-like plant with yellow or white flowers. The leaves are chewed into a pulp, and given to cats with difficulty breathing or a cough. It also can be used to treat kitten-cough.

    Comfrey
    Large leaves and small, bell-shaped flowers, which range in color from pink, to white, and purple. Its fat, black-colored roots, when chewed into a poultice, can be used to repair broken bones or to soothe wounds.

    Dandelions
    The white liquid inside the stem is used for bee stings.

    Dock
    Similar to sorrel, the leaves can be chewed up and applied to soothe scratches. To apply, chew it into a pulp, and lick the juice onto the wound, and then spit the remains of the leaf out.

    Not much is known other than that it can be mixed into poultices to make them sweeter and easier to swallow.

    Honey
    A tasteless (to cats, as mentioned in Eclipse), golden-colored liquid that is made by bees. While difficult to obtain without being stung, it is great for soothing infections, sore throats, or cats who have breathed smoke. Also helps cats swallow other medicine. Can be treats for kits.

    Horsetail
    A tall, bristly-stemmed plant that grows in marshy areas, like ShadowClan territory. The leaves can be chewed into a poultice, and applied to infected wounds to help treat them.

    Commonly found in the mountains, this herb gives a cat strength. This herb was discovered by first the tribe cats and then when the clans were resting in their territory, Stoneteller told Leafpool about this herb.

    Lavender
    A small, purple, flowering plant that cures fever and chills.

    Mallow
    The leaves are best collected at sunhigh, when they are dry. It soothes a cat's belly.
